[musictlk] traditional instruments

[joe bollard]

hello sherry, yes, we do use traditional irish instruments in our church, 
though i don't play any, i accompany them on the organ, we have a very good 
mandoline player, and a passable flute player we get quite a good sound 
together, i have a special ear for celtic music, both scottish and irish, 
our choir sing hymns in irish, and the allen organ i play has quite a good 
flute tab, it's amazing what one can do with this set up, i also like new 
age  music, i like to dooddle during the quiet passages of our services, i'm 
pleased to hear that you play the bodhran , where would you use it, enough 
of my irish prattle, and thanks again for the swahili material, i got our 
choir sounding like something from sueto at practise on tuesday evening, 
regards from ireland, joe.
